Rocket Launcher
About the Game
Launching a rocket is not an easy job. It must be done with perfect accuracy or consequences could be fatal. This requires tons of mathematical calculations... in real life, but in this game you just need to press the button at the right time so your rocket can be launched into orbit safely.
The goal of the game is to leave the top of the screen with your rocket. To achieve that you need to tap the SPACE key when the bar cursor is in the middle. The closer you are to the middle when you tap SPACE, the more fuel you will tank in your rocket, and when you fill the rocket with fuel, it will launch!
Your launch time depends on two things: how fast you fuel the rocket, and how straight it flies. The angle of the rocket depends on how accurately you aim the middle of the bar, so precision is everything.
Originally released in 2005 as part of the '1Key' series, games you can play with a single key, Rocket Launcher is a simple, addictive arcade simulation perfect for quick sessions and all ages.

How to Play
Fueling
A bar cursor moves back and forth. Tap SPACE when it's in the middle to add fuel to the rocket.
The closer to the middle you tap, the more fuel is added.
Fill the rocket with enough fuel and it will launch automatically.
Launch Angle
Your accuracy determines the rocket's flight angle.
Hitting the exact center each time sends the rocket vertically — the fastest path to orbit.
Missing the center causes the rocket to fly at an angle, taking longer to leave the screen.
Hints and Tips
Speed Matters
Fuel your rocket as fast as you can. The quicker you fill the tank, the better your final time will be.
Aim for the Center
Always try to hit the exact center of the bar. This gives you maximum fuel per tap and keeps the rocket flying straight up for the shortest path to orbit.
Pro Tip
Don't rush your taps. A perfectly centered hit adds way more fuel than a fast but off-center one. Find the rhythm of the bar and tap consistently for the best time.
